Christmas Dream 2015 in the Archdiocese of Sao Paulo aims to collect toys for needy institutions and deliver them personally. This year, donations are intended for the institution Nook Don Guanella.

This 14th year of the Christmas Dream organized by the Pastoral do Menor, in partnership with several Catholic schools, universities and parishes, as in previous years, involved all students of the Collegio Notre Dame Queen of Apostles. As is traditional the EO-Youth Notre Dame held a fundraising campaign in order to brighten the Christmas of children. The result was a collection of 691 toys — bikes, cars, dolls, educational games, stuffed animals, books and children’s magazines and school supplies.

This year children who immigrated to Brazil in the company of their families, in search of a better life, will benefit from the donations that are part of campaign Christmas Dream held by Mitra Diocesan.

On November 28, at the Auditorium Elis Regina, the celebration of the solidarity campaign will be held. The Collegio Notre Dame choir will participate in the ceremony, presenting “Natalinos Cantos.”
